INTERESTING LETTERS. anne Our Washington Correspondence >. Wasuxatox, Sept. 4, 1851. Blunders Of the Administratron—The Presidency— Georgia Whigs against the Administratior— Messrs, Scott and Douglass, und the Hopes of their Friends—The Gardiner Claims, §c. Talleyrand’s declaration thet a blunder in dip- lomacy, was worse than a crime, had much of meaning and truth in it. Mr. President Fillmore and his cabinet seem to be committing blunders all the time. It was a blunder for nearly the whole administration to go -off pleasure and popularity huuting, after recoiving positive information that Lopes, and a party acting under him, were about to make another desvent upon the island of Cuba. It was a blunder to take Mr. Owen from his Congressional district ia Georgia and send him to Havana as consul, in ths hope of thereby appeasing Toombs & Co., and saving “Georgia to the support of Mr. Fillinore for a 30 cond Presidentiel term. The sequel is, Mr. Owen has made himself unpepular and odious as Consul, and will have to be removed; his district in Georgia will be represented in the next Congress by Mr. Chappell, a democrat; and Toowbs & Co., and the whig party of Georgia, now repudiate their old po- litical ties, and come out in open opposition to Mr. Fillmore’s administration, since its affiliation with the Johnston freo soilers of Pennsylvania and tho Seward free soilers of New York. Aa otficer of the govornment—a head of a burcau—appoicted as a Southern whig, openly declares that he ts for the election of Judge Douglass to the Presidenvy, and that Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Loatsiaaa, Tennessee, penialy, ant Maryland, will ail go for him, if he should be the nominee of the demo- cratic party. He even keeps in his office a | st of the States which he declares will loct Judge Doug- lass President next year. ‘Ta; list, which ho nas exhibited to this writer, among others, contains each of the above named States, waich voted, in 1848, for Teylor aad Fillmore. The late removal of Mr. Freret, the collector of the customs at New Orleans, upon the ground thas he, like the President and mos? uf the cabinet, no- glected hia duty to watob for aud proveat the sail- ing of a steamer filled with armed meu destined for Cuba, will prove a blunder, although Mr. !"rerot’s place may be wanted for some favorite of the ai ministration. Every step the administaation now takes in dismissing public offivers for sympathizing with the Cuban revolusionists, particularly in Now Orleans, will prove a blunder. Every move it makes inthe matier of calling upon the Moglish and French governments to send their war vessels and cruistrs to the region of Cuba, to help our vessels breast the tide of freedom, waich the inha- man butchery of American citize! by the Cu- ban authorities is obliged to se @ rushing current toward Cuba, will prove blunder. It is a blunder to call upon or to invite land and France to aid us in preventing our people from re- venging the bloody uttrocities of the Cuban autho- rities upon noble and gallant, (hough misled, Aime- rican citizens. It is a blunder in tho administration to suppose that either one of its members can begiu to get the nomination of a whig natioval coaventioa for President, or begin to be elected President Mr. Fillmore, since his afliiation with the ohneton free soilers of Pennsylvania, or thy Sow- ard free soilers of New York, canuot obtaia the vote of a single Southern State; aud as for tho Northern States, he can get no ono of them aguiast General Scott. So, his l’resideutial jig is up. Mr. hesipe may repudiate some of tae blunders. We shall see. eneral Scott or Judge Douglass, moat unques- vionably, is to be tho uext President. The friends ef General Scott, here, are very sanguine of his carrying New York, Penvsylvavia aod Oaio, aad cnough other States to elect him by av overwaelm- ing majority. The friends of Judge Douglass, here, are equally sanguine that he wil be triumphantly elected. Some five steamers have arrived in this Sages d from Liverpool since the time was set for the val of Dr George A. Gardiner, by his champions who had received letters from that conspicuous Mexican claimant, and yet the doctor comes not. ltwae blurder for the adwinistration to ha entrusted the cereclaa is of the Gardiner claim, the Mears claim, Hargous claim, &e., ia Mexizo, to our Minis! Mr. Letcher, who, when he arrives there, will have his hands more thaa full of other matters of the greatest import. It was a blunder to let Mossrs. Vorwin, Thonp- son, &e., the counsel and attorneys for tha Gard) ner and Mears claims, sead out to Mexico John Cavlos Gardiner to get vouchors to sustain those claims, in advance of a government agent of oigh character, obility, aud integrity, who would probe the whole subject to the bottom One of the items in the Gardiner claim, which ought to ested the aitention of the Board of Commissionert, Was that of $25,000 for an en gine purchased in England, and transforred to the caine, at San Louis Potosi, at a cost of $5,000, with which the great lake of water in the mine was yumped out. The engine’s cost, including alleged ost of transportation, was charged, but no charge made for the fuel consumed ia keeping the ea- gine going while it was throwing ou: the vast lake of water! The question is, could an engine of such apacity be purchased in Lnglard and transported to and set to wor! ao mine a Louis Potosi, for eight times the amount of $30,000? , Avother important fact in relation to the line of conduct laid down by the Board of Commissioners, is worthy of comment. ‘The momeoriais signed, re- spectively, by George A. Gardiner, Jobn Carlos Gardiner, and John t1. Mears, were each sworn to by the person signing cach. The three memorials appear to be all in the «ame band writing, andthe two signed by the brothers Gardiner are nearly word for word the same. A fourth memorial was before the Board, signed by William W. Corcoran, the banker, who as! ag the purchaser, to have awarded to Lim one qaar ver of the sum awarded on the claim of Dr. George A. Gardiner. Dat Mr. Corcoran was not required by the Board, to swear to his momorial, and so no oath wi ppended thereto. The quarter of the Gardiner award was, however, set off to him, agreeably to his memorial. Why did tho Board moke this distinction? Will either of its members answer? Nous verrons. Wasiinoton, Sept. 6, 1851. The Adeninistration and the Cubs Question—-The Democratic Organ on the Subject--Project for the Campaign of 62. From all that we can learn, the administration is confident that Lopez and his whole force have been destroyed or captured by the Spaniards, and that all further trouble, for some time to come, with the filiusteros, is over—that the ententé cordiale will be restorcd with Spain; that mutual explana- sions will make all smooth again between the two governments, and that the horrible hobgoblin of the re annexation of Cuba may yet be suscessfully evaded as a question for the approaching Presi. dential campaign. These are comfortable assurances and conclusions, no doubt; for the suscess of Lopez for ten days longor, from the preparations in New Orleans, would be equivalent to the independence of Cuba. That it would bave resulted inatriple alliance between Great Britain, France, and Spain, ogsinst the United States, is simply preposterous The cotton «uestion is more important to Lngland than fifty islends of Cuba; and the portentous signs of another cuntivental convulsion are too momentous for France to admit, for a moment, of the ridiculous notion that she could be, upon any pretext, or int of policy, drawn into a war against the United States, tor the preservation of the island of Cuba to Spain. As our ancient and most valuable, and as our patural ally, if this Cuba business could be ex- tended into a national war, France would be most ely to be found upon the side of the United States, if ehe could find it convenient or safe to miogle in the equabbie at all. The bugbear, therefore, of a treaty wi gland and Fravco, binding them to the protection of the sovereignty of Spain in the island of Cuba, to the extremity of @ war with the United States, is perfectly ridiculous, coarecrow ; the thing will not bear a momen . epection. Neither France nor England is in a con- ation for # War with the Uni States, upon a gennine otsus belli, auch less upon such taiserable trumpery a8 this imaginary treaty with Spaia. it appears that the administration has been sh apprehensive of trouble with lrance and England as it has been solicitous for the ‘va tion of our good faith with Spain. It ap; 4 that Mr. Fillmore and bis cabinet have boen afraid that filibusteros, if not tpeedily suppre: would the government headlong into a war with Spain, an i al other nations of a more form’ the subject oh only some euch man as (ei Jackson coald look upon without flinching. Ita, be readily imagined, then, how delighted were all hands of the cabi lace Ae with the news of the captere and tion of Lopes t . Report says that they a! be White Ione, and interebanged congratula- tions upon this fortunate suppression of this ugly- looking invasion. however, that Lopes and his party aren or ted, and that mutual expla- d. ont Log hel Coe saraight again between tho 1 nited States in, while the vigilance of the Home Squadron will deter all further expeditions to Cuba from our shores, the ultimate issue is not yet ougaped the isoue of the acquisition of the island. ‘The hostility of the whig party to all further as- uisitions of foreign territory, on the south side of tho Union, ts notorious; the universal pop: of any question of annoxati ii pretty well established | all this. Florida, Louisiana, Texas, California, Utab, and New Mexico, are matters of history. They have suspected, too, that fortnight to Lover, or a less time, would b ouat to the overthrow of the Spanish rat-trap; and that the noxt question would be, shall we annex the islaad of Cuba to the United States, a /1 Texas? Now, we learn, the cabinet are pattienlacg gratified the escape from this fatal question, in the exie-- mination of the party of Lopes ia time to dster reinforcements from the United States—so that the project of Cuba's liberation may he coo sidered us nipped ia the bud, and effectively sup- pressed. ‘The most dreaded of ail questions was tae question of the annexation of Cuba; the whig party would certwinly oppose it, in the teeth of inevitable defeat. ‘The expedition of Lopez, then, involved the adwinistration, the whig party, and the fifty mil lions a year of the spoils, exelusive of tho pickings and stealings. All these were at stake—all were involved) Now, with tae de of Loger, peace will be restored, Spain will remain in the quiet pos- -session of her darling island, the question of aanex- etion will not como up, aud we shall have a fair chance and an equal footing for the Presidential sage and all the pop, aud roast beef, aud plan pudding of the Sub- ‘Treasury. But the question is not essaped. We may plead that the administration has executed the laws—it may be urged that anvexation is a dangerous pas time, from our late experience—that we are not ready—thet Cuba is not rioe—that it may lead to foreign war and domestic dissensions—that w will cost too much to buy, and that to take it would be “flat burglary” We cau't escape the questiva. The tone of the Union, and ot the democratic proes generally, indivate, too plainly to bo misunder. stood, that the Cuba question, for the campaign of °O4, will be wade the test question by the National Jemocratic Convention—tnat they will enter the field vpon the question—that the democrats will come in, and that the whigs will go out, upon that question. The blood of the batchered Amorieaas at Havana will be charged upon this admiaistea- tion, as resulting from their pleasure exouresions to the tummer watering places, and the consequent neglect cf their official duties; and «pon the Prosi- proclamation, and bis internatioaal polioy with Spaia. He will be overwhelmed—the wig’ party will be evperseded; and this cabinet will owe their in pending defeat to a policy without suflicient deci <ien, courage or emphasis, one way or the otder. ‘The question of the acquision of Cuba will be mado by the democrats, {rom cheir necessities, as well as the tewptationa, per se, to do it, a question of tho compaign, and it will sweep the field. Wasuinoros, Sept. 7, 1351. Dr. Gardiner and the Mexican Claims— The Cabinet — Waiting for Mr. Webster—The Cuba Prisoners —Rumors vf a Nave Treaty—No Go—Local Im provements of the Federal City. Dr. Gardiner, the holder of the net proceeds of that splendid San Luis Potogi Mexicaa claim, it uppears, hag not yet returned from London. He is still expected to report himself, with the arrival of every steamer. But whether he does or does not— whether the claim is good or bad—it may be pretty eafely assumed that the money, having been paid out, it will stand, so much to the creait accoant of the Treasury for some time yet. Congress will un- qvestionably cause an inquiry to be made into the whole busmess, for it may be turned to good account in the Presidential election. in the meantime, we understand a Mr. G. W. Slacum or Slocum, of this place, goes to Mexico to make a special and particular inspection into the facts and the history of the Gardiner claim, on tho spot where the mines are located, upoa the suspen- tion of which the claim is founded. And if Mr. Slecum’s report is not satisfactory, Congress will send down another commissioner or two; for we are arcured that the democrats, having gained such im- merse advantages from the Galphia claim, will make the most they possibly can of thess Mexican indemnities. ‘Lhe administration is lying upon its oars. Some little acts of an executive character, in regard to the Cuba diflicultics, have transpired—such as the concentrating of the home squadron asa sort of coast guard of Cuba—and the despatch of Com. Parker with certain demands upon the Captain General, respecting the firing at the Falzon, the execution of the fifty American prisoners at The President has also caused special structions to be given to all federal officers at New Orleans,and other poiuts,in relation to the fili- bueteroes—he is said to have discharged the collec- tor at New Orleans, for having suffered the Pam- pero to go out of port wi:hout a clearance; ani that, we believe, is about ail that vhe administra tion bas done in the premises. With the return ot Mr. Webster we shall expect something more to be done. There will ba some- thing required between him and the Spanish Minis- ter in the way of a diplomatis balancing of accounts; and rumor already is speculating upoa the pros pects of a treaty, no: for the acquisition of Cuba by the United States, but for the security of the sove- relgnty of Spain This, by the way, is too absurd to be Seriously thought of, however much it might advance the great object of peace between our country and foreign mations. Manifest destiny looks to a consummation entirely different; and Mr. Webster will be wise, perhaps, to his own eal- vation, if he corsults,in all further negotiations with the Spanis Mbinicter, the popular sentiment of the United States, as well as the law of 1513, and the duties of neutrality. Still we expect very little of Mr. Webster. Powerful as be is when in action — d decisive and strong—he requires to be starte d here there is nobody to start him. ‘The local improvements going on in the federal city, far exceed anything of the kind at © re— vious congressional recess. The appropriations wore liberal, as tbe work going forward at the Capitol, the Patent Office, the canal, andthe exten sive public grounds, will testify; while the national monument and the Smithsonian Institution have given cmployment to a large number of workmen.

The Horail’s Caibrated Democratic Correspondence — The Washington Leaders on a New Tack. Since the publication of that exceedingly valaa- ble democratic correspondence in the New York Hoal, laying down the outlines of a scheme for the nomination of Gen. Houston for tho Presidency, on a free sot! platform; and since the merciless criti- cisms of the whig press of this underhanded move- ment to balk the national democratic convention, we have reason t» believe that the democratic loal- ers bore Lave resolved upon a new tack. Although nei:her the name of Gen. Armstrong nor of Major Donaldson appears inthe list of letters in the Hivals, there is no doubt that both of them would be well ratisfed with Gen. Sam Houston, as the democratic nominee. But we havo reason, also, to believe that neither of them wore ia the secret of Mr. Donaldson, Mr. Greer and company, for the nomination of “Oli Sam,” as a Southern man with Northern primciples. Gen. Houston vent from Tennessee to Texas. He was a protegé of General Jackson, and the present editors oftho Union rather like him on this account, as well as on account of his personal popularity among the * unterrified de- mocracy™, of the North. But the publication o these letters has dished bim, and has disned the grand echeme of the Democratic Execu- tive Committee, for his nomination and his election upon Northern capital. Tow, it is tanderstoodl here that the leaders of the party in this os while they ew! ee, ey audacity of t ian proposed for Houston's c! tion, they were indignant at having beon excluded from the proceedings of this National Committee. And what has been the consequence? y have opened a new corres) ecale than that ational Cor they propose a ich more satisfactory business in tho important matter of the tic convention and the democratic nominee. ‘We understand that this now correspondence is directed peremptorily to put the veto upon the Na- tional Committee, and to turn over the impcrtant business of the democratic convention and theic candidate to the democracy of the two houses of Congress, as recommended in the letter of William F. Uitehie, Eeq., to Mr. Donaldson. With the meeting of Congress, then, commences the active practical business of the ‘Presidential campaign; and the ¢lection of the Speaker will afford some inkling of the designs of the deme- mocra- western man, with Southern princip! stituted.

Ia ieod, the whole bona fide legislation of next Congress, first ecesion, will be postponed, for a lon, tine, t make way for the war avd the intrigues tween parties and cliques; aud we shall be sad!y i appented if tbe Cuba question is not made thy mort prominent subject in the canvass.

Witk us the cotton crop bas been seriously in- jored by drought. No one expects to realize any- thing like a full crop. Many are destined to gather a balf crop, while others euticipate abont two- thinds. ‘The accounts from the interior of this State, a well ax from Mireissippi, are still more dieouraging—the drought being so intense a3 to have ruined both their corn and cotton crops. We cee, though, fiom accounts from England, as wellas | New York, that a large crop estimate has gone ubroad, which bas now produced low figures as re- gaids the price. This impression has grown out of the appearances of the crop in June, which then did exbibit most flattering appearances; he ace it was sourded from all quarters that the crop was very promising, avd promised a large yield. But we must now recollect that the crop of cotton is dependent on July acd August to be favorable to ihe production of a good crop. These two months are the periods which turn the scales of cottoa—if favorable, a full crop may be expected; if unfavor- able, a disastecus yield is the result. These two mouths have been very dry and intensely hot, whish completely parched up the plant, and occasioned rost—a disease the most ta‘al to cottoa. Our fields exhioitasadsight.

To now caleulate op 3,000,000 bales, which is the esti- mate that bas been made, is all nonsense. avd Louisiana, the crops have been seriously da- meged; hence it is reasonable to suppose that 2.000,009 bales will cover the crop. Wo are aware that it w stemming up a repid and adverse current to argue against a large crop, whon the impressions bave gone abroad that the crop is to be an enor mous une; but, vevertheless, the facts to the con ‘nted by the exhibition of our fields, erzal reports we have from plunters avd travellers. ‘Time will prove it; but unforta- nately for the plarter, the tee is long before iwg at corrcet figures.

Georgia Politics—Expected Success of the Unionists— The Cotton Planters’ Convention, §c. t the Union party will triumph in the coming October election, is a truth that no well informed andcandid man in Georgia will dispute ; and that this vietory will be achieved upon the principles of the Georgia platform and the doctrines of General Jackson's proclamation, is also undisputed. Mr. Cobb will go into the executive chair with a clear mojority of twelve thousandin the popular vote, and a majority of forty on joint ballot in the Legis- Jature.

The New Hampshire whigs have n> one among them sufficiently great for the post ; while Rbode Istand has two or three men who would fill it well, 80 far as ability and knowledge of law go. John Whipple, ‘though he bas been somewhat eccentric as a politician, is a great lawyer. But, then, the Rhode Island whi; party is so cut up, so entirely at war with itself that to elevate one of its leaders to a pat placa, would be to mortally offend vey noar ail the others. It would surprise no one were Massachusetts to get the prize, though the man has not probably_been named. The greatest interest that has yet been felt in Cuban affairs bas prevailed here for tho last twenty-four hours, ever since the arrival of the first dispatch containing the Cherokee’s news.

In a few days — we shall be more enlightened on the subject, Calis have been published for meetings in several of the city wards, to nominate delegates to a mu- nicipal convention for the selection of an indepen- dent candidate for Mayor, against Gilpin, the whig nominee, who is with Johnston on the slavery ques- tion. The democrats have declined to nomiuate; anda movement is being made to unite the demo- crats, natives, and dissatisfied whigs, upon a new man, friendly to all the compromise measures and the Union. If this can be aceomplished--as those ergaged in it seem to be certain of—Gilpin must, of course, be overwhelmed, and di«anced for the Mayoralty, in this Gibraltar of the whig party.
